Abstract
A voltage detection device that is connected to a DC circuit to which a DC voltage is applied and that detects the DC voltage applied to the DC circuit comprises a voltage conversion means for outputting a first voltage that increases as the DC voltage increases and a second voltage that decreases as the DC voltage increases, a voltage calculation means for inputting the first voltage and the second voltage outputted from the voltage conversion means and calculating the DC voltage based upon a difference between the inputted first voltage and the inputted second voltage, and a first failure judgment means for judging that failure has occurred if at least one of the first voltage and the second voltage is not inputted to the voltage calculation means.
